Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.), who has floated a presidential primary contest against President Biden, said Sunday people want to “turn the page” on the incumbent president when it comes to 2024.

    So we’ve got RFK jR running as a Republican with a D behind his name, and Manchin and now Phillips floating primary runs against Biden from his right.

    It’s so nice watching centrists demonstrate that their commitment to protecting incumbents only applies when challengers come from the left.

      RFK Jr is his own thing but neither Manchin or Phillips are actually running. You can’t call people hypocrites for not doing something they think other people shouldn’t do.

        Yet. Both are making noises about it. Since when do politicians openly consider a presidential run and then decide against it?
